Role of Intracellular Ca2+ and pH in CO2/pH Chemosensitivity in Neuroepithelial Cells of the Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Gill Filament

Neuroepithelial cells (NECs) of the zebrafish gill filament have been previously identified as bimodal O2 and CO2/H+ sensors that depolarize in response to chemostimuli via inhibition of background K+ channels. To further elucidate the signaling pathway underlying CO2/H+ chemoreception in the NECs w...
